The Zebrafish: Cellular and Developmental Biology, Part B Developmental Biology: Vol 134

The Zebrafish: Cellular and Developmental Biology, Part B Developmental Biology, the second volume on the topic in the Methods in Cell Biology series, looks at methods for analyzing cellular and developmental biology of zebrafish. Chapters cover such topics as cell biology and developmental and neural biology.

• Covers sections on model systems and functional studies, imaging-based approaches, and emerging studies
• Chapters written by experts in the field
• Contains cutting-edge material on the topic of zebrafish and developments relating to their cellular and developmental biology
• New, two part Fourth Edition in this important volume
